In an act of brutality, the new United States (US) government has announced the imprisonment, at the Guantanamo Naval Base, located in illegally occupied Cuban territory, of thousands of migrants that it forcibly expels, and will place them next to the well-known prisons for torture and illegal detention.
This is what the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba and President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, wrote in x, after learning that the Guantanamo Naval Base – which, in addition to being illegal, houses unimaginable torture and violations of all kinds against human rights – will also now be a detention center for some 30 thousand immigrants, as announced by President Donald Trump.
Although none of his controversial decisions have caused too much surprise (coming from where they come from), it is still outrageous that he now intends to turn the territory – which, as the entire world knows, does not belong to them – into part of his strategy to get thousands of people out of the United States who have set foot in that country in search of the so-called American dream.
At the signing of the Laken Riley Act, Trump spoke about an executive order for the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the facility for such purposes, without going into too much detail about the procedure by which the transfer will be carried out.
Since his second ascension to the presidential chair, the multimillionaire, known for his discriminatory anti-immigrant behavior, has taken the harshest measures in favor of a cleanup, which will have terrible consequences, even for unborn children.
In the midst of this context, the new announcement comes to light, which once again puts the Naval Base in Guantanamo in the sights of international opinion. Many have been the horrors committed there, from the kidnapping and murder of Cuban citizens, to serving as a crime and torture laboratory, under the justification of the war against terrorism. Until now, the attempts, announcements and promises to close the prison located at the base have remained only words and, evidently, it will not be now that they do so.
The truth is that, under the political-electoral pretext of cleansing illegal people who have invaded land that does not belong to them, the champions of freedom and human rights have sought a solution as horrendous as it is ironic to the crisis they are creating, by transferring thousands of their deportees to that corner of Cuban land that the U.S. has usurped, in its shameless condition of illegal foreign government that has invaded land that does not belong to it.
